The purpose of this policy is to establish the parameters of non-unit Faculty assignment and performance evaluation.

II. STATEMENT OF POLICY

A. A non-unit faculty member shall, at the beginning of employment and each year thereafter, be apprised in writing by his or her departmental chair or other appropriate University administrator of the duties and responsibilities in teaching, research/scholarship and other creative activities, service, and any other specific duties and responsibilities assigned for that year.

B. The annual performance evaluation of a non-unit faculty member is designed to provide a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the assigned duties and responsibilities in teaching, research/scholarship and other creative activities, service, and any other specific duties and responsibilities assigned for that year. When a non-unit faculty member is not meeting performance standards, a performance improvement plan may be developed to assist in correcting deficiencies.

C. The annual performance evaluation shall be given adequate consideration for purposes of salary adjustments, promotions, reemployment, and tenure.
